cities of China. You’ll marvel at the immense parade of historical architectural wonders(like the Forbidden City,
Temple of Heaven and Terracotta Warriors) when feeling amazing flavor of cozy life breathing down your neck
from blocks of local houses and markets(like Beijing Hutong and Tongli Water Town).
Visiting series of magnificent icons of China from Mutianyu Great Wall to Xi'an Old City Wall
Wandering along the ultra buoyant Nanjing Road and the Bund
Relaxing in easy breezy Hutong lanes and Tongli Water Town
